Hi,

My name is Iarina, I am a Cohen fan..I've seen him recently on his european tour, he had a concert in Bucharest. I registered and I need your help, as you know a lot about LC. I am desperatly looking for a song, it's a tango song, absolutely superb, I listened it a few days ago on the radio. It was a woman in duet with Leonard Cohen. I had never heard the song before so I couldn't identify it. I have been doing researches on youtube and on the internet, but I don't know the name of the song and unfortunately I couldn't remember a single word of it. So I am asking you: do u know any tango song of Leonard Cohen? in duet with a woman? I don't fnd it anywhere.

Iarina

Thanks for the dance?

Hi Maarten,

thanks , but it's not the song I am lookign for. It's really a tango....pure argentinian tango...and Leonard cohen sings at the end, at the beginijg it's only her voice. For two days now I've been trying to find it....

Iarina

Hi iarina

If you can recall any of the words, just a few here and there, I can pretty much guarantee there will be people who will identify the song for you.

I could identify Leonard's words before I could identify the tango rhythm.

Hi Iarina.
I'm happy to see another bucharestian around here, but you ask a very confusing question! Are you sure it was Leonard Cohen singing?
I can't think of any song that would sound like a tango, but I can tell you a few that start with a woman singing.

Sounds like any of these? Considering that you heard it on the radio-especially if it was a romanian radio show-it must have been a pretty well-known song and probably an album version, not some obscure cover.

Hi Laura,

Nice to find you here. Well I know I am asking somethign difficult. It was on romantic radio, and I don't think it was very known. I don't remember any words, because I focused on the song, we were many persons in the car and when I tried to identify the chorus, they didn't sing it.it's that kind of tango with long lyrics and no repeats. It's not a song from Leonard's albums, I would have recognized it. I think it was rather a collaboration with a female singer.
Thanks for the links but it was none of them. I think I should just give up, but the sing haunts me

Iarina - can you contact the radio station? Do they have a website with an e-mail contact address? They might be able to tell you.

Could it be one of Anjani's songs?

I think Laura's sussed it...it sounds like "Boogie Street". Perhaps Leonard will write another "Tango" song when he finds a word to rhyme with orange?!

I belive that Leonard has found such a rhyme, as he noted in a TV interview back in the '90s: "door-hinge."
(okay, it's two words, and it's not an exact rhyme, but as a poet, I think he's allowed "poetic licence"!)

I live in Abergavenny in South wales in the UK and we have such a rhyme. As I look out of the office window, rising up before me, looking like a huge burial mound, is the Blorenge mountain.!

"Blorenge" Mountain! Excellent! I will remember that the next time the "What rhymes with orange?" question comes up! (And it is surprising how often that happens!) Then I will astound people with my knowledge of mountains in Wales!

I think we have the same song in mind - and it's so not Leonard - Serhat & Viktor Lazlo - Total Disguise:

Were you thinking about this song?

Ticka, I think this was the song...his voice sounds amazingly well with Leonard's.

Many thanks!!!!!!!
